The Pinning Ceremony, which is held at the end of each semester, serves as a symbolic welcoming of newly graduated nurses into the profession and traces its origins back to the 12th century. Graduates of the program are traditionally presented with nursing pins by either the faculty or someone significant to the person receiving the pin. The ceremony also includes a candle-lighting, and the reciting of the Nightingale Pledge, a modified version of the Hippocratic Oath named for the founder of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale.

The Pinning Ceremony will also be live-streamed at youtube.com/NorthWestCollege, haoqiwa.com/commencement/pinning/ or facebook.com/NorthwestCollegeWyo, and a digital program is also available.
